Artist: Lorenzo Quinn (Italian)
Son of Hollywood actor Anthony Quinn, Lorenzo Quinn is an artist of exceptional talent who is recognised widely as one of the World's greatest living sculptors.
He has produced commissioned work for the United Nations, the Government of Qatar and the Vatican - his work was blessed by the Pope in front of a crowd of 35,000.
His work also features in the collections of King Juan Carlos of Spain, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum (ruler of Dubai), Donald Trump, Sir Bernie Ecclestone, Sir Elton John, Lakshmi Mittal and Rudolph Guiliani.
Over the last 20 years, Quinn's works have been exhibited internationally at prestigious venues such as the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg, Valencia’s Institute of Modern Art, the Italian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale and in Park Lane, London as part of the City of Westminster's City of Sculpture Festival.
He is best known for powerful representations of human hands. Quinn describes the emotion behind the piece: "I wanted to sculpt what is considered the hardest and most technically challenging part of the human body. The hand holds so much power – the power to love, to hate, to create, to destroy."
A huge 2.5-metre high edition of Lorenzo Quinn’s Finding Love was commissioned and installed in front of the main entrance of One Hyde Park, London - heralded as most exclusive address in the world. This is your chance to own the more intimate version of this famous piece.
Title: Finding Love
Year: 2013
Medium: Aluminium, Stainless Steel and Granite Sculpture
Dimensions: 27.5cm High x 42cm Wide x 16cm Deep
Edition: An original statue of an edition of 99
Condition: Excellent
Current Location: UK (Acquired Directly by ArtFair)
Description: A delicate touch between male and female hands framed in a highly polished stainless steel arc placed loosely upon a black granite plinth which allows the arc to rock freely. The hands are fashioned from aluminium.
Provenance: You will receive two forms of authentication: one a standard paper certificate of authentication and the other a metal plaque showing the edition number and Lorenzo Quinn's signature. Additionally, the sculpture has a Lorenzo Quinn signature and edition number very subtly inscribed onto one of the wrists. The piece is shipped in its original made for purpose wooden box.
Opinion: Photographs simply cannot do this sculpture justice. Finding Love is an exquisitely beautiful piece and as Lorenzo Quinn's hugely popular works are quickly being snapped up and therefore disappearing from the market fast, his art looks increasingly to be a outstanding investment.
Price: £8,990 (Including Free UK Delivery). We would personally deliver it to you for free anywhere on the UK mainland, and you can see it in your home or office before payment. We show you the piece, and if for any reason you decide not to purchase, we simply take it away, i.e. you will not have to wrap or ship it back to us.
